Pure pleasure. We were covered in powder from top to bottom. It's now capped on the south side and below 1000m there's honey on the north side too.

Wind drifted snow

Intensity: medium

Risks

Woom- or hissing noise

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

Triebschner is clearly recognizable in all exposures. Above the tree line, we were only below 30 degrees. My touring partner claims to have heard humming noises at around 2000m - I'll take his word for it.

Overall impression

Equal

Faceshots in the Appenzell countryside! The snow was also head-deep throughout. The fifth star is only missing because not everything is possible due to the tense 3.

Note on Conditions Reports

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.

Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!

Thank you for your contribution to the PowderGuide project!
